Case Studies
UI Web Design
Crafting a solution for transforming an outdated brand identity and web interface that broadened the opportunity for nation-wide expansion and increases target market and user experience.
Creative Branding
Developing the brand identity of an offering within a multi-market company offering in-person and digital interaction. Social media content and videos, print material, and web interface organization that contribute to a broader marketing initiative.
Annual Report
Turning low-quality imagery and high amounts of data into an organized 85-page report for a non-profit. Designed for nation-wide print distribution and digital reading (with sections, references linked).
Project Launch
Print and digital identity launch for a non-profit focusing on PFML across the country. I helped Panorama Global publish a website with a simple, image-forward identity and two annual reports — all within a very, very quick timeline.
